John 17:6

John 17:6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

How tenderly he speaks about them! He says the best he can of them; they were faulty, feeble folk, but he says, "They have kept thy word." So they did.

If we are not perfect, if we fail in some respects, yet may the Master be able to say of us to God, "They have kept thy word"!
